About Gastrowest
Gastrowest was established by myself in 2008. The aim was to provide a safe, high quality gastroenterology service with excellent communication provided to patients and GPs or Specialist referrers. We are able to offer open access, no gap Gastroscopy, Colonoscopy and Flexible sigmoidoscopy with minimal wait time or no wait time if required urgently through Hollywood Private Hospital. All our anaesthetists are also no gap providers.
